May 13, World Falun Dafa Day, is a special and solemn day when Falun Dafa practitioners from all around the world host a variety of celebrations to express their respect and gratitude to Master Li Hongzhi, and to display the beauty of Falun Dafa to the world.

Many citizens signed a petition calling for an end to the persecution and support human rights, at the signature drive locations in Chinatown, Central Park and City Hall. Many people expressed interest in the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and The Epoch Times newspaper, and about 20 Chinese openly announced quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. Falun Dafa practitioners also made many small, colorful paper lotus flowers and gave to passersby, adding more pleasure and peace to this special day.
